To be honest, I’ve been back from the honeymoon for over a week now and while things are going great on the married/house front , things on the running front have slowed a bit. Going into my wedding and honeymoon, my PT tendon had been a bit sore and I was hoping that over a [...]

Back from the honeymoon

Hot and humid…perfect if I was training for Badwater!
Just felt like stating the obvious, but it’s been VERY hot and humid these past few days in southeastern Connecticut. I went for a 5+ mile trail run on Monday at 9 AM and it already felt like I was running in the jungle. I’m hoping the temperature will drop a little bit, as I [...]

Race Report: 2010 Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon
This past Sunday I ran my second half-marathon of the year and potentially my last race until A) my wedding later this month and B) the Amica Marathon in Newport in October! The race was the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon in Fairfield, CT and it was the second time I’d run the race. Last year [...]

Barefoot Brandon: What’s in a name?
At about the same time I started running barefoot and in Vibram Five Fingers and started blogging about it last year, it became apparent that there was quite a disagreement raging on the interwebs. This disagreement was between those in favor of minimalist running and those who recommended the traditional running shoe approach (and many [...]

Ultra Half-Marathon Man
Okay, so maybe there’s nothing quite “ultra” about running 13.6 miles, but pretending I was doing something way above and beyond what I had ever done before helped me get through the run on Saturday…even if it was only 0.5 miles farther than my previous distance In case you’re too lazy (or have something better [...]

Time for some serious trail running!
With my brother’s bachelor party in the rear-view mirror (great time…even though I probably went a little overkill on the partying ) it’s time to get back into training mode. I’m in between the two half-marathons scheduled for this year and these next couple weeks will most likely feature a lot less road running then [...]

Longest run of the year
Saturday morning I hit the streets for my long run of the week, hoping to go eight miles or so. Wearing my Vibram Five Fingers Sprints (which have now surpassed my KSO’s as my favorite road running “shoes”) though, I got into an awesome groove and if necessary, could have definitely finished a half-marathon distance! [...]

Recovery runs: Do you do them? Do they help?
Each of the past two weeks I’ve gone on a long run (both of which happened to be trail runs) and have noticed something odd about my recovery. The day after each of the runs I feel good, but due to concerns over my PT tendon soreness in my foot, I’ve decided that taking an [...]

Longest trail run to date!
After a weekend that included a couple hikes, but no substantial running, plus some serious Easter-eats, it was time to get focused on training for Bimbler’s Bash. In case you weren’t aware, “the bash” is a 10k trail run in Guilford, CT, and will be the first trail race of my life. Up to this [...]
